Expecting a strong tempo with Elivina, Royalify and Wild Sensation going forward ahead of Bound To Fire and Chilly Charlie. ELIVINA (8) looks a nice filly on the rise, bringing up a maiden win when sitting on the speed and scoring by 0.6L at Kembla Grange last start. The step up to the mile doesn't look an issue and she's beautifully placed under the conditions. Can bring up back-to-back wins. DARK STRATUM (10) has had a few goes now but has been racing in tougher races than this recently, with his last 3 starts being in $100k maidens. Back to country level now with McDougall on board and getting onto a firmer deck should suit. Racing well and should get his chance. WILD SENSATION (4) led them up here last start and held on to win narrowly, scoring in a photo finish over 1400m. The form has been franked since and he has the speed to offset the wide alley. Can roll forward and will take catching. CHILLY CHARLIE (2) never got into the race first-up but looks suited to this event. Blinkers come off and he can improve. DOC MARCH (7) draws well today and can feature with the winkers on first time. SUGGESTED PLAY: Elivina can bring up back-to-back wins.
